Tragedy in Edmonton Apartment Fire | Calgary News

A devastating fire in north Edmonton claimed the lives of beloved 85-year-old Major Singh Bhandal and his 82-year-old wife, Surinderjit Kaur Bhandal, after the vehicle strike on a gas line ignited the building. Major Singh jumped from a balcony to escape the flames, while his wife succumbed to injuries. Their grandson described them as inseparable, lifelong partners and pillars of the Sikh community who lived in the complex for 25 years. Though 11 crews battled the blaze and six others were hospitalized, the family vows to honor their legacy through community service and kindness — remembering them not for the tragedy, but for the love and connection they gave to all around them.
